Los Angeles Dodgers plan to move Mookie Betts back to the infield to protect him from physical wear and tear.
Betts, who began the 2024 season as a shortstop, was previously shifted to the outfield following a hand injury.
Gavin Lux’s future with the Dodgers is uncertain as Betts’ infield return could limit Lux’s playing opportunities.
Lux has struggled since recovering from an ACL injury that kept him out for the entire 2023 season.
The Dodgers are reportedly interested in acquiring Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Willy Adames, raising questions about Lux’s role.
Lux could become a tradable asset this offseason, especially if the team seeks to acquire a starting pitcher or high-impact reliever.
The Dodgers face challenges in the infield, making Lux’s versatility valuable for depth amid injury unpredictability.
